Description | Zinc pyrithione (OM-1563), an antibacterial and antifungal agent can disrupt membrane transport by blocking the proton pump. |
In vitro | In exposed mussel tissues, Zinc pyrithione accumulates rapidly, with the rate of accumulation being proportional to both exposure concentration and time. Despite a 7-day LC50 (lethal concentration for 50% of the population) of 8.27 μM in relatively higher concentrations of Zinc pyrithione, this indicates a potential threat to coastal ecosystems and marine life, necessitating further investigation into its sub-lethal biological effects. |
In vivo | As a specific synthetic potentiator, Zinc pyrithione activates homotypic and heterotypic M channels by inducing a resting potential. It is considered a zinc complex. The Pyrithione ligand (formally a monoanion) chelates with Zn2+ through oxygen and iron-sulfur centers. In the crystalline state, Zinc pyrithione exists as a centrosymmetric dimer, with each zinc atom coordinated to two sulfur and three oxygen centers. However, in solution, the dimers dissociate through the cleavage of zinc-oxygen bonds. Although Zinc pyrithione is a dimer, its activity causing cytoplasmic membrane depolarization may originate from the monomer, with an effective concentration for half-maximum effect (K1/2) of approximately 0.3 mM. |
